Identified - We have identified the cause. The Brotli module that Forge installs during provisioning is tied to the exact Nginx version on the server, so once Nginx is upgraded, it no longer loads, and Nginx will not start. This can happen without any action on your part, since automatic updates can upgrade Nginx.

A fix has been deployed, so newly provisioned servers are no longer affected. Servers provisioned since 10 August may still be impacted, and we are preparing an automated fix for them. If your sites are down right now, contact support to get them back up.

Sep 03, 2026 - 20:14 UTC
Investigating - We are investigating nginx failing to start on some servers across multiple providers. Affected sites will not load and return error 521 behind Cloudflare. This can happen on a newly provisioned server or on an existing one after nginx is upgraded. The cause is the Brotli module going out of sync with the server's Nginx version.
Sep 03, 2026 - 19:47 UTC
Investigating - Some servers are currently unable to issue or renew Let's Encrypt certificates. The job fails while fetching its client from GitHub, before any domain validation runs, so this is not caused by your DNS, firewall or site configuration.
If a certificate failed, you can retry it from the site's Domains tab. If you have a certificate close to expiring, please retry it manually.

Scheduled - Our partner has informed us that their Networking team will be making changes to the core networking infrastructure to improve performance and scalability for a subset of Laravel VPS customers in the NYC3 region during this window.

They have advised that this maintenance will be carried out in three phases as outlined below:

August 25, 12:30 to 15:30 UTC
August 26, 12:30 to 15:30 UTC
August 27, 12:30 to 15:30 UTC

Expected impact:

Our partner has advised that this operation will cause a very short traffic interruption, and that traffic should recover automatically afterwards. Should any prolonged impact be noticed, they have confirmed the change will be reverted immediately. They will endeavor to keep any disruption to a minimum for the duration of the change.
